Dear Reader,
World Hypertension Day is observed on May 17 to raise awareness for a common, yet serious, medical condition—hypertension.
Nearly half the adults in the United States have hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, and the condition contributes to more than 670,000 deaths each year. Many people don't even know they have high blood pressure because it develops without signs or symptoms, damaging blood vessels and increasing your risk for conditions such as stroke, heart disease and more.
